Greetings all,
We are in the midst of updating our IR's metadata registry and the
corresponding crosswalks, to make sure all of our metadata is exposed
through OAI. While working on these updates, it came to our attention
that some of the metadata formats in the DSpace OAI module are out of
date. For example, links to both the namespace
(http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/dspace/dim) and schema
(http://www.dspace.org/schema/dim.xsd) of the DSpace Intermediate
Metadata (DIM) format are apparently dead; meanwhile, the schemas for
MODS and ETDMS have (relatively) recently been updated to 3.5 and 1.1,
respectively, but the OAI links to previous versions of the two.
It would be great to have the latest schema versions available for
updating OAI crosswalking; however, we are hesitant to make local
changes, as the OAI webapp is currently being upgraded for the next
DSpace software version and its xoai file still references the previous
schemas and dead links.
Does anyone know if there has been any discussion about updating the
metadata versions/links in the OAI webapp before the next update?
Thanks!
